Agent advised that a PP benefit allows us to book 5 day packages vs 7 day packages at lesser points. She mentioned it was only available to MVC owners and Marriott PP (not regular platinum).

What a joke gift. I'd settle for a couple coupons toward a free drink at a Marriott property or some bonus points.

googling "travel valet" will outline what they are used for.
From a listing: " Packs flat for your journey, then snaps together once you arrive to hold your jewelry, coins, and/or key all in one area. "
Useful I suppose and appreciated either way.
The gift is always going to be something that can be traveled with and used in...a Marriott hotel.

It looks like I was downgraded to LTP yesterday. I had 10 nights in Canada earlier this month and wasn‘t ever adressed as a PP but got a nice upgrade in Niagara.

Like Muerz, I too have been busted back down to Plat. PP was pretty flat, so no great loss...

I think at the 5* properties, there is extra attention from that status..... standard hotels, not so much.
My status is showing different every day when I log into the website... how do you know if you have made it or been bumped back down to Plat?

The Marriott at the Detroit airport surprised me with an upgrade to their suite (I think they only have one) and a huge cheese plate that included some fruit. Unfortunately, it was all pretty low quality -- just the cubed cheese that's served in the concierge lounge along with fruit that looked leftover from the breakfast buffet. The Marriott in Livonia, a Detroit suburb, always upgrades me to a suite, but the suites aren't that nice and, frankly, I'd rather have a regular room on the top floor. Other properties often let you have 1 or 2 free beverages from the lobby shop. I'm a Diet Pepsi addict so that's a nice gesture. I'd rather have Diet Pepsi than a bottle of $7 wine.
As they say, it's the thought that counts.

Personally, I'm still wondering since I haven't received anything.
App still says PP. Website says Platinum Elite but everyone reports that from the new website.

I'm a newly minted PP (received the travel valet and journal in the mail this past week, along with an updated plastic card). Conflicting information on the app and the website, so I wasn't quite sure what was going on with respect to status.

My wife's only comment, other than "get it out of my sight", was an additional suggestion for storage which is NSFW or probably FT either, but think bedside (and use your imagination).
Regarding the status level, everywhere I look on the website it says 'Platinum Elite', but the custom printed text in the insert (inside the cover) and the card both say 'Platinum Premier Elite', even though the cover says 'Platinum Premier'.
If corporate is so confused/inconsistent, how can we expect the staff to get it straight, especially given how many management companies service multiple brands and lodging companies?

I threw mine in the trash. I have zero use for the valet (I always thought a valet was a sort of butler, not a collapsible dish) and the notebook is too small to be of any use. I was hoping for an actual Moleskine-style journal or calendar.

Got my gift today... kind of clever, and will be useful if I can train the habit into my routine.
And today, I finally know that I did qualify for PP, even though the website still shows me at PT.

I logged into the mobile app today and see that I'm a lowly platinum again (no mention of LTP)... it was a nice 3 year run that resulted in near zero value. Only thing that PP might have provided was the extra special recognition my parents received when I booked them a week at JW Cancun for their 40th anniversary. I was having a hard time getting a bottle of water at Coralville Marriott, and they were treated like royalty
